I like those enormous popcorn tins. Bonus if there’s a puzzle on top.
No, I don’t read anything special.

Is there anything that you haven't experienced that you want to do or try this Christmas season?

I've still never seen It's a Wonderful Life.

I want to try a hot chocolate bomb. I don’t like hot drinks, but I could do it once. I’m obsessed with them popping open and marshmallows exploding out.

Have you worn anything festive yet this year?

I have! I've been losing weight so I got a size smaller cardigan and a long sleeve shirt that's Christmas themed.

I've worn a few different Christmas shirts this week. One was a long sleeve shirt with a tiny picture of Santa and the words "Keepin it Real" over top of him. It's this shirt, actually, from Old Navy. Another was a Peanuts T-Shirt like this. I had to wear a long sleeve shirt underneath and had flashbacks to my 20s when that was a style. No "ugly" Christmas sweaters for me.

It was expensive and a huge disappointment. There was no explosion. I’ve been lied to by TikTok videos. I guess that’s it til next year!

It's December 1st, so it's time to warm up this thread. If you could only bake or eat one kind of Christmas treat this year, what would it be?

My mom makes these sugar cookies in the shape of gingerbread people. Nothing special but they are so nostalgic for me and they feel really Christmasy.

Tamales! Sometimes we make them as a family and sometimes we just buy them but I am soooo looking forward to them this year.

It would be Stauffer's chocolate star cookies. Very nostalgic.

It takes talent to make a good sugar cookie! I don't generally like them because they're too thick and hard. Good ones and soft and almost flakey.
I've never had tamales or the Stauffer's cookies. I hear that tamale making is somewhat of a religious experience with how much work goes into them.
When I asked this I had just made peanut butter rice krispie bars. They are so simple to make and are a part of every cookie exchange plate that I have ever gotten. But, I've been eating them for almost a week and am now sick of them. Lol.
Do you have any festive plans for this month?

Yes, those super thick cookies that come in the clamshell containers are the best! I appreciate how versatile they are and how they work for every season.
This year we are hosting Christmas for the first time. Last year we moved right before Christmas and barely had anything unpacked, so now I'm enjoying putting up decorations and making it feel cozy.
